Overview
Important Information
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and your role in 
a skin management program. Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions 
regarding individual limitations and needs.
All cushions should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist and physician is the best way to 
assure that a cushion choice matches your individual needs. As the needs of the individual become more 
complex, cushion evaluation becomes more important.

The Invacare Matrx Flo-tech cushion uses a 
combination of molded foam and dual layer fluid 
sacs to provide the highest level of skin protection 
for users with high risk of skin breakdown.
Fluid Sac
The fluid sac utilizes a unique dual-layer fluid 
design in the ishcial/sacral areas to help prevent 
bottoming out.
